How to Make Time for God with a Busy Schedule

If you need help making time for God in your busy schedule, then this post is definitely for you! The following plan is set up for effective time with God over the course of a month. I’ve set it up for the month of January, 2025, but you can easily start today and continue forward with the daily prompts!

I have included physical activity because that is part of my usual schedule and it’s a great time to spend alone with God. I have included my bible study on the book of Matthew because I feel the closest connection to Jesus when I read Matthew. It also helps when I feel temptation in life. The book of Luke is one I have not spent much time in and hope to get through. I’ve also included journaling because I enjoy journaling about my blessings and also my prayers.  

Here is my 30-Day Spiritual Formation Plan: 

January 1^st – I will attend New Beginnings Church.
